Lot of years ago since I had any copper plating done. Wenlocks in Hull. Make sure it's laquered or you will be polishing it every day :D

Dunno, just a thought... Will the chroming of the engine block mount fitting silent block surfaces not be a fitment issue...?

The mounts came chrome, then taken for chrome stripping and re-polishing before copper.
If that's the case the grinder will come out :lol:
